I haven't always been a morning person. My mother needed a 2x4 to pry me out of bed in the morning for school. But for the last 15 years of my working career I went into the retail shop early so I could get a few hours of work done before doors opened at 9.

I was very fortunate to be able to take advantage of early retirement, and each day I remind myself of what a lucky guy I am to be able to GO places, like China Camp in this image, instead of wasting my time and energy working at that darned old salt mine.

That's Rat Island in the foreground (above), with the tip of Pinole State Park, across San Pablo Bay, in the distance.

And of course, did I mention that sun is coming up, and not going down?
